Knuckles and Tails have enough abilities to be considered diferent characters altogether, to change the game itself in its obstacles. Blaze does not. I honestly considered her just a boring extra in Rush.

I'll grant you that they're a lot more similar, given Rush's more extensive commands and the fact that Blaze simply mirrors most of them. She does hover, though.

Say what you want about the voices, but the script writing looks good (with some humor in there too). ^^;

Hypershell · **Reply #854 on:** October 30, 2010, 01:16:54 AM

Much agreed on script-writing.

Sonic is solid, he'll just take some getting used to. His tone of voice has been fairly consistent ever since Adventure, so this is a pretty big switch. But the actual performance is great.

Tails is a *DEFINITE* improvement. I swear it sounds like the middle ground between 4Kids and SatAM, if that makes any sense.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #855 on:** October 30, 2010, 01:22:12 AM

Apparently there is some big Sonic Colors event coming to NYC soon. KG told me about it....but I forgot!

Flame · **Reply #856 on:** October 30, 2010, 05:42:40 AM

Yeah Sonic takes some getting used to, but hes not bad. He makes a great Sonic.

Writing does seem solid, and Lol at Sonic breaking the 4th wall.

For some reason I'm getting a Jaleel White Vibe out of the new guy.

Just played the DS version demo, feels like a lot like Sonic Rush to me, although I've only played a little bit of Rush on emu. Hate it when demos don't offer a boss battle at the end sometimes. $:\$

STM · **Reply #859 on:** November 02, 2010, 06:03:11 PM

I like it better than Rush since mindlessly boosting usually makes you take the worst and, ironically, slowest paths. The burst wisp was fun to use.

Rayl · **Reply #860 on:** November 02, 2010, 06:45:14 PM

I'm really enjoying the new voices, yeah Sonic will take a little getting used to but i'm already enjoying the deeper tone to his voice.

Tails is, of course, a vast improvement already.

KudosForce · **Reply #861 on:** November 03, 2010, 07:46:38 PM

Although I've been hearing good things about this game, I still have reservations on whether it's actually worthwhile (and not fool's gold) for me. $:\$

I miss the days when I had to judge a game on its own merits, without relying on magazines and such...Although doing that has its disadvantages, you could always be sure if something was worth playing, rather.

But enough of my musings. I'll have to wait and see if Sonic Colors gets a good enough reputation, before trying it out.

Hypershell · **Reply #862 on:** November 05, 2010, 01:31:31 AM

I've said it before and I'll say it again: *NEVER* trust reviewers with Sonic. Not even if the reviews are good (Heroes...).

Not even this review regarding Sonic?

Hypershell · **Reply #864 on:** November 05, 2010, 02:52:51 AM

Just because you don't trust something doesn't mean you will always disagree with it.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #865 on:** November 05, 2010, 02:58:47 AM

LoL, I know. I was just teasing!

KudosForce · **Reply #866 on:** November 05, 2010, 06:52:05 PM

That's what I'm saying; you can't really trust media outlets, these days, so I have to rely on word of mouth, or first-hand experience, to even figure out if the game is, you know, good.

I don't even do that. Example, according to alot of people, Final Fantasy XII was a terrible game. According to me, trying it myself? I love it.

KudosForce · **Reply #868 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:32:12 AM

Well then, in that case, I've got no other choice: I have to leap into the unknown and try it myself.

Hopefully, I won't regret this.

Gotham Ranger · **Reply #869 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:12:37 PM

Anyway you could rent it?

KudosForce · **Reply #870 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:09:07 AM

Unfortunately, I can't, since:

1) I don't have a license, and tend to be too distracted for me to even consider driving anyways.

2) I can usually only go shopping with my folks on fridays, so I'd probably surpass the 3/5-day limit.

That being said, I usually blind buy anyway, when I have the assurance from fan reaction that a given game is good (or, at least, so bad it's good).

Have you tried it's PC port then? I hear that's even WORSE.

KudosForce · **Reply #872 on:** November 07, 2010, 02:32:20 AM

Nah, I don't play PC games, except for freeware, fan games and emulated games.

ZeroCracked · **Reply #873 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:41:35 AM

Well, the DS demo came out on the Nintendo Channel. Tried it out, despite the total similarity to Rush, minus the trick system, it's awesome. Then again, I liked Rush somewhat...

Anyways, I played through that biotch like 15 times before I got tired of it. If I can't afford the Wii Version in all it's 50 to 60 dollar glory, I'm going for DS.

Edit: Well, I actually WATCHED the videos...

Planet Wisp's music is pretty sweet. I'm loving the soundtrack for this game.

Also, Sonic's new sense of humor is great, even if the jokes are a bit childish, they're still really good. "Y'know, had to do a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and smashed a giant killer robot."

Honestly, I really have to applaud Sonic Team on this one.

Jericho · **Reply #874 on:** November 09, 2010, 05:37:13 AM

You know, I've had like zero presence in this thread and I find it weird. Admittedly at first, the game wasn't grabbing me due to my own inability to follow some titles, but this might just be the biggest (good) surprise game of 2010 for myself. The game is incredible and I honestly can't believe how it just appeared out of the blue (ha) like this. Also, the music is [tornado fang]ing blissful. Sweet Mountain Acts 1 & 2 as well as all of Planet Wisp's themes alone are giving Super Mario Galaxy 2's best themes a serious run for their money right now, and that was my personal draft pick for best soundtrack of this year previously!
